Theatre Bay Area conference: the curtain rises today

There are no people like show people. The annual Theatre Bay Area conference, the biggest regional theater conference all year, an event that draws folks from all across the country, is taking place today at the War Memorial Veterans Bldg in SF. Be sure to check out this day-long confluence of panels, speeches, lectures and, of course, cocktails. This is the theat-uh, people. Yours truly will be on hand in the afternoon moderating a panel starring Bay Area clown prince Geoff Hoyle (from ”The Lion King” to ”Teatro Zinzanni”) and Dan Hoyle (“Tings Dey Happen”) one of the most famous father-son duos on the local scene today. Cheers.
